Orientation training
Douglas County residents who want to operate a child care home need to attend a Childcare Licensing orientation class. The class is a requirement before an application to become a provider can be submitted to the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE). Our childcare licensing specialists work with new providers to find a date and time that works for them to participate in the training. Orientation can last 1.5-2 hours; is held over zoom, Microsoft Teams, or the phone; and requires your undivided attention.
During the class, participants will learn about KDHE's regulations, including paperwork requirements and the inspection process.
You must document training by having a certificate of attendance with training date.
